Answer:the number of cars that were washed is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that members of a senior class.

Let y represent the number of pick-up truck or a sport utility vehicle that members of a senior class.

They charged $3 to wash a car and $5 to wash a pick-up truck or a sport utility vehicle and they earned a total of $275. This means that

3x + 5y = 275 - - - - - - - - -- - -1

They washed a total of 75 vehicles. This means that

x + y = 75

Substituting x = 75 - y into equation 1, it becomes

3(75 - y) + 5y = 275

225 - 3y + 5y = 275

- 3y + 5y = 275 - 225

2y = 50

y = 50/2 = 25

Substituting y = 25 into x = 75 - y, it becomes

x = 75 - 25 = 50

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

16.028 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

1 inch=0.0833333 foot

24 inches=0.0833333×24

=1.9999992 foot

The mirror is square shaped and each side is 24 inches

If each 24 inches=1.9999992 foot

Then,

4 sides of 24 inches=1.9999992×24

=47.9999808 foot

Maria has 1 foot of trim left

Total Length of trim when she started=47.9999808+0.0833333

=48.0833141 foot

=16.02777136667 yards

A taxi service offers a ride with an $5 surcharge and charges $0.50 per mile. How many miles can a customer travel and spend at
hram777 [196]

Charges 0.50 per mile with a 5 dollar surcharge. Spending at most 30 dollars, the equation would be:

0.5x+5\leq30

To find how many miles they can travel/the solution, solve the inequality:

0.5x+5\leq30

Subtract 5 from both sides.

0.5x\leq25

Divide both sides by 0.5.

x\leq50

They can travel (at most) 50 miles.

Hope this helps :)
